| Where to start with vinyl SGunther,I did the same thing.. I just got into vinyl/analog. I also have a similar system as you do (ML Summits). I purchased a VPI Scoutmaster with Dynavector 20XH cart to go with my Cary SLP-98Phono preamp. It's going to be a long process (coll... | |
| Speaker Preferences? I can't believe we're correcting rhymes now. | |
| Speaker Preferences? I don't think cone head rhymes with "rule".... :). | |
| Speaker Preferences? Understood J.But I don't think that MLs are alone in the fact that you have to take the time to position them well. Sonus Faber needs them, Quads need them, Magnepans need them, etc.The last time I was at a dealer for a Sonus Faber demo, he took a... | |
| Speaker Preferences? JKalman,If I had the money to get a Rives room, it would be much easier to set these up.It's all about how you approach it, if you find tweaking is a negative, then don't tweak it. You wont get the best sound out of an ML because there is SO MUCH ... | |
| Speaker Preferences? Shredder, I will look into the Aerial 9s... if you were impressed with them and you had ML background, it may be something I'd like to audition. Just for kicks. And if they are truly better, well... que sera sera... this is life.Joey | |
| Speaker Preferences? "Those seem like even greater reasons to stay away from that speaker line to me..."Why? Because of the setup? Set it up right and they sound fantastic, to me atleast. Set them up wrong and they sound lackluster. You of all people should know that ... | |
| Speaker Preferences? J,You're meaning to tell me that Tweeter knows how to setup the Summit better than a Summit owner who has spent the last year tweaking the system?You're telling me that Magnolia is better at setting up MLs when all they do is pile them against the... | |
| Speaker Preferences? The Sophias are among my favorite speakers, but the Vantage would be a close second for most things. I would say that they need to be positioned right and run with the proper upstreams to get them to sound good (the ML moreso). Dull would not be t... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C So how does the 840C compare to the Wadia mentioned a few posts above?Also, how does it compare to the Naim C5i and the Rega Apollo?Thanks! | |
| PS Audio's Digital Link III DAC I have it paired with a SB3... I like it.I swear I wrote a review on it somewhere...Joey | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 JR and Krell 400xi? I think you can get away with that combo.... I have a friend whose VR4jr actually sound good, he uses a PS Audio amp.I also went to the dealer where I heard the VR4jr ran by DK hybrid amp and I did not like it at all.Let us know how the Krell matc... | |
| New sonus faber Cremona M version Probably not the true production pair as was stated earlier. But, anyway, how did you like it??:)Joey | |
| New sonus faber Cremona M version Either way... NO ONE has heard the actual production yet. I'm going to sit here with my Auditors and wait for the Auditor M.IF the Cremona M truly madly and deeply blows me away... I just might replace my Martin Logan Summits for my reference setup. | |
| B&W Nautilus 802D, Wilson Sophia 2, or others? Sophia and 802D side by side? Dang... must've been a nice comparo.Joey |
